Poeic Obituaries: A painter, installation artist, writer, curator, poet,

lecturer and director of video and native theatre, [Joane] Cardinal-Schubert was born in 1942 in Red Deer and studied art at the Alberta College of Art, the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary, where she received the bachelor of fine arts degree in 1977.

As an advocate for contemporary native artists at a time when they were hardly collected and shown or, when they were shown, found themselves pigeonholed in exhibitions of "native art," she was outspoken and fearless of the consequences for her own career.
